What is a tentative ruling in Butte California Superior Court?+
A tentative ruling is a preliminary decision issued by a Butte Superior Court judge before the scheduled hearing. Under California Rules of Court, the court posts tentative rulings the afternoon before the hearing date. Parties who wish to contest the ruling must provide timely notice; if no party contests, the tentative ruling becomes the final order. Tentative rulings let attorneys predict the likely outcome and decide whether oral argument is warranted.
